The Note's Sneak Peek

June 12, 2007— -- Twenty years after the Gipper gave his famous speech at the Brandenburg Gate, the man whom Richard Land has dubbed a "Southern Fried Reagan" tapes a 7:00 pm ET Tuesday appearance on Jay Leno's couch in Burbank, Calif. Once Thompson's "Tonight Show" appearance gets splashed all over morning television, attention can return to the 2nd quarter money scramble.

One day after rolling out his 12 Commitments to America in New Hampshire, Giuliani spends Wednesday raising money in New York.

While the mayor's camp notes that Giuliani is the first Republican to neatly package his big overall vision this year, Romney's Kevin Madden isn't about to let them forget that the former Massachusetts governor was giving the Des Moines Register's David Yepsen his "Ten Issues America Must Address to Remain the Economic and Military Superpower" a full 11 months earlier and that he has been working those ideas--to differing degrees--into subsequent speeches.
